Please consider discussing with your community or Wikimedia affiliate and submitting some self-assessments to the Community Capacity Map! (CCM)

There are over thirty capacity areas described in the CCM Guidelines page. Take a look and see if you're inspired to think about which capacity would be most useful for your community or organization to work on building.

The purpose of the Community Capacity Development project is to (finally) make systematic progress toward building capacity within Wikimedia communities.

This project began with a phase of Community Research, where the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) conducted qualitative research into strengths, challenges and needs of different communities, aiming to understand the breadth and scope of capacity needs in emerging communities. These interviews were conducted with sixteen communities or countries[1] through in-depth video interviews with a small group of community members.
